Bessie and I fell in love nature - dy-3n fact, too naturally. - I have of- ten thought how pleasant it must be for the animals and birds to mate without having to look into each ether's record. A tiger may not only, kill a man, but eat him and mate with a most respectable tigress without' any'. questions being asked. Two . birds may meet on the branch of a tree and without the slightest knowledge of each other become mates. Butman and woman must not only know all about each other, but be of .the same grade and each have a clean record, or there comes a lot of trouble. And the most singular thing about it all is that either of them will mur- der any animal, except their; own kind, and eat the carcass. I, being an artist, when the buds ,were beginning to open went into the cannery to catch that 'first delicate shade of pale green which appears on the trees at that season. I was sitting on my tripod in a wood working in the colors when I heard the bark of a dog, and a moment later a little terrier stood growling at me. A girl, budding like the trees, not into leaves, but into womanhood, hurried up, calling in a soft voice: "Frisk! Come away, Frisk! What do you mean?" I paidn0 attention to the dog, and there was no need for the girl to call him off, for he had no idea of attack- ing me, but he gave me an excuse for addressing the girl. And yet I question if any excuse was required. People who meet in crowds are constrained by convention- alities. We two, meeting in, a wood, !with not a sound about us -when the dog had ceased barking—except an oc- casional twitter of birds engaged in nest building, felt constrained in an- other way. We were impelled to be companionable. I began by telling her not to mind the dog, that he wouldn't disturb me, and she sidled around where she could catch a view of my sketch. 'One thing led to another until iwe felt quite well acquainted. I bad ,chosen a delightful spot to transfer to .canvas. It was on a declivity. An waenine in the frpPq below, revealed a ;patch of landscape, while at my feet ;gurgled a stream, at this season well ,supplied with water from snows re- Gently melted at higher altitudes. The air was balmy and laden with per- fumes. One has but to mention this outline ieture to indicate the result. Given an opening •spring in a wood, buds, wild 'flowers, twittering birds, a vista, a brook, a dog and lastly a young man and a young woman, both in the first freshness of youth, what follows? Why, exactly what the poet says—the young man's (and the young woman's) fancy turns to thoughts of love. The result of this meeting was an- other meeting and another and another. I didn't count them; I was too preoc- cupied to do so.' I painted so long on my picture that before I finished it the ;delicate shade I had come to the coun- try for had ernwn into a dark green Consumption Takes. Hundreds of People Every clay and the surppising truth is that most cases are pre- ventable with timely, intelligent treatment. These appalling facts should warn us that after sickness, colds, over- work or any other drains upon strength, Scott's Emulsion should be promptly and regularly used be- cause tubercular germs thrive only in a weakened system. The tested and proven value of Scott's Emulsion is recognized by the greatest specialists because its medical nourishment assimilates quickly to build healthy tissue; aids in the development of active, life-sustaining blood corpuscles; strengthens the lungs and builds physical force without reaction. Scott's Emulsion is used in tuber- culosis camps because of its rare body-building, blood -making prop- erties and because it contains no alcohol or habit-forming drug.

Piot while this boaut was disappearing •he burl of love was opening. So' much for the natural features of this story. Now come the arlifleial— viz, a girl's confession to her father that she had met her Nate_, but had not met with any knowledge of that fate's antecedents; then a eemmand from the father, tears from the girl and a triangular condition between, :the fa- ther, the girl and the artist such as has taken place ever since the first primeval girl planned to give her fa- ther the slip and climb a tree with the first primeval youth, the tree being too high for the old gentleman to follow. :.liessie's' father wk1S really asreason table as we considered him unt•eeson- bile. He merely, wished to know who I was, Since 1 had lived in South America from the time I was two until twenty-two years of age I must send there for my credentials, involving a delay of a month or more. What cruel- ty to force a pair of lovors to wait all. that time in a State of suspense! "Sweetheart," I said to her -one day, "suppose the reply should come that I am an escaped defaulter, jailbird, niur- clerer." "I would not believe the story." ",But your father world, I 'added. sententiously. ` One day, after having painted alone in the wood, on heaving it 1 saw some- thing half covered with shriveled branches and dead leaves, I exam- ined it and found the dead body of a man. . Horrified lest 1 might be im- plicated in a murder, 1 threw back what I had removed and was about to hurry away when I saw two men coming for me. Within five. minutes I was on my way to the nearest Do - lice station.. Aly antecedents were now not so much needed to enable me to possess my love as to preserve; my neck. The status had changed a second . time. The case was not now one of a father, a girl and an unknown man, but n father, a girl and an unknown mon ac. cused of murder. I sent at Dupe n note to Bessie, informing her pf 'Illy' trouble, encouraging her to keep up a good beart and assuring her of .my in. nocence. Receiving no reply, I con- cluded that her father would not per- mit her to send a reply. Brooding'. in my cell, I could not but revert to the good old primeval times I have cited before when a suitor might kill as many of his fellow be, ings as he pleased -without being ob- jected to on that score for a son-in- law. I bad Idlledlno one. I was mere- ly suspected of killing a man. And it Bessie's father did not kill menbe killed the next grade of animal below men—or other men did the work for him, which is just as criminal -and devoured the fiesh. It seemed to me that the only logical beings are the beasts and the birds. They kill and eat each other without inquiring' whether or no they are eating the: same species, while man -well, this is what man' does. He kills and eats every animal be- low himself. To kill even one of his own kind he considers the greatest of crimes unless he kills them in battle, where the more men he kills the big- ger man he Is, which is exactly what made the chiefs among bis savage an. cestors. I was so impressed with this reason- ing that I asked my jailer for writiug materials and wrote it down, or, rather, elaborated the bare skeleton 1 had thought out. When it was finished I' asked to have it delivered to Bessie's father. In due time a reply came as follows: 1 havealways desired my daughter to marry a man distinguished for some- thing. Artists andpoets are usually dis- tinguished for their ideality. You, being one of the kind, share that distinction. You may further lay claim to being the most impracticable numskull that, to my knowledge, the - world has yet pro- duced. You -base interested me 1n your- self- and your case. I"'have retained the best criminal: lawyer I can findto take charge of your case, .andifyour inno- cence is proved I shall deem my daugh- ter honored in wedding such an etninent This reply stung, me to the. quick. I regarded it as tantamount to a re- fusal of his daughter's hand': even if my innocence were proved. As to the lawver he snake of hiring: for mn I wrote him immediately that 1 had en- gaged the most eminent counsel in the land and would have no need of the one he had retained. What was my surprise, when I was folding and addressing this second let- ter, to receive a visit from Bessie. She threw herself into my arms hysterically. I couldn't tell whether it was joy or grief _ that moved her. When she became calmer I spoke of her father's communication. "Father has darned right around," she said.,,,"He's your friend forever." "Really?". "Yes, really. He considers you in- nocent of this crime with which you are charged. He says that no matt who could have written that letter could have committed murder and if he did be would convince the judge that there• was no ease against him, sincethere is no logical difference be- tween killing a man and a steer." "I am glad," I said, embracing her, "that in thousands of years one couple may in some respects return to the natural methodsof our progenitors. Are you quite sure your father is sin- cere in his change of mind toward mer "I am. If he were not he would not have permitted me to come here to visit you. He says you are the first man he ever met who did not talk and act artificially. He's simply delighted with you," I showed her the note I had written declining her father's offer of counsel. She burst out laughing. I asked what amused her. "You haven't any money to pay emansel." she sni,1. 1 Familiar Scene at a Lumberman Camp in New Ontario "Upon my word! I never thought of that." "Yon are ideal and unpractical," she said. "That's the reason I love you."L And she embraced me. • Our colloquy was. broken in upon by the sheriff, who came in to say that the real murderer bad been ar- rested and bad confessed. I was free to go. At the same time he handed me a letter postmarked Rio Janeiro. "Ah, I exclaimed, "my creden tials r Slipping the letter in my. pocket, I accompanied Bessie to her father's 4ouse, . Be greeted me warmly, and I banded him credentials I had the received at the jail. Removing the en- .velope, he began to read, his eyes open- ing wider as be read. "Are you a fool or a knave?" he asked, looking up at me. "Both," I replied. 1',t' "What is it?" asked Bessie. "Why, daughter, this pastoral busi- ness of yours bas resulted in your catching the only eon and heir of the biggest coffee planter in Brazil. I knew when I received his note that be was an original, but I didn't know he was rich. You tell me," addressing me, "that you are both - fool and knave. Will you kindly inform me of the introspective reasoning by which yon have arrived at this result?" "Well," I replied, "no one but a fool who has the career before him that I have would spend his time 'sitting on a three legged stool in a wood daub- ing, and n0.one :Mut a Knave would make love to a girl without her fa- ther even knowing that he is doing it." It was decided that Bessie and I should be married in June, and I con- cluded for my prospective father-in- law's sake—who must have a noted man for his daughter, even if a 1001— to return to Brazil. I told Bessie's father that I should litre to be mar- ried in the wood on a carpet of June roses, whereupon he said that he bad had enough :of that nonsense and didn't wish any more of it. So we were married in 'a very mat- ter of fact fashion at the bride's home of course, and sailed a few days later for my country. • I am now Oneof the.. most prominent citizens, of Brazil and consequently much out of my clement. WAS TROUBLED WITH SOUR STOMACH AND BILIOUSNESS. Sour Stomach and Biliousness are caused by a sluggish Liver, for when it is not working properly, it holds back the bile, which is so essential to promote the movement of the bowels, and the bile gets into the blood instead of passing through the usual channel, thus causing many stomach and bowel trou bles. "There is only one way to prevent the liver from becoming up -set,. and that is by the use of MILBURN'S LATA-LIvnR Puns. Miss Julia Lang, Yarko, Sask., writes: —" For several years. I was troubled with sour stomach and biliousness, and did not get any relief until I used MIL• 0URN'S. LAXA-LIV1IR PILLS.
